Ok, I'm officially hopeless. Hopelessly converted to a full-on femShep fan.
*snippage*
So, yeah...I'll end this rambling monstrosity here. Thanks guys, for helping me see the awesomeness that is femShep!
This is awesome. And I totally understand where you're coming from, it took me several playthroughs to nail down Shepard, to say nothing of Jessica Shepard herself.
Yeah, I shouldn't have any issues with Kat figuring her out. Like I said, the story itself for "Shepard" is pretty well set in stone for me. Certain decisions, certain lines in conversations, etc. are all pretty much figured out. There's some wiggle room, for certain, since Kat is a different background/psych profile, and I've already found a couple places where a couple of conversation options were a little different, but I can tell that the main "meat" of the story is gonna go a certain way that I find the most satisfying. But thanks for the comment!

Its a great feeling isnt it
I think a few of us have had similar experiences. I had three main characters. My first ever playthrough as maleshep. That was quickly forgotten after I played femshep. Who then became my next main character.
Then recently I created a new Shep who rather lovely so now she my main girl It can take a while to get right but its a good journey
I'm glad I'm not alone in this boat, just a little late to the party. But hey, better late than never, right? And
MAN, what a helluva party!

Sorry for the snip, it was way too long to quote lol. I read it all though.
I started Mass Effect with a female character straight away so when I say that manShep doesn't feel quite right to me is extremely biased (I tried but stopped halfway through Eden Prime), but I'm glad that you feel that way about femShep! It's always a pleasure to know that she's being recognized. Best of luck with your canon playthrough!
Oh, no worries about the snip. If everyone had quoted that mammoth wall-o-text, we'd probably have crashed the server! (I keed! I keed!)
I'm glad you figured out your Shep so early on. I thought I had too, and then FemShep smacked me upside the head for daring to think her male counterpart was "canon*! lol Seriously, though, it's a wierd feeling having my entire view of the story change, but it's a good kinda wierd, if ya know what I mean. I mean, maleShep
is awesome, don't get me wrong, but having played femShep, she's just
more awesome, because she's that rare female protagonist who's both strong without being overdone, and tender without being a damsel in distress. I like that about her. I think Kat's story is gonna be the most awesomest thing in ME history! Except...for your guys' femSheps that is...lol

Welcome to the club.
It took me a while to find my Shepard too, but it was worth the wait. I have others but Hrist will always be Commander Shepard to me.
Yeah, Kat seems to be the one, so far. Everything about her just seems to fit the story so much better than I'd have thought at first. I, for one, cannot be more glad to have been wrong!

Okay, i was gonna quote your whole wall o' text, but i won't, but i still read it and i think it's awesome. while everyone is entitled to their own shepard, of course, for me, femshep IS shep, and the game always felt to me like it was 'meant' to be played with a female lead. i just adore it that way. and i'm happy that you are having fun (if a little "arrrgh!" thrown in there) in figuring out your perfect canon playthrough.
and i agree that the kaidanmance is something pretty spectacular. can't wait to see what they do with it in ME3 and i hope it lives up to the awesomeness that is femshep's and kaidan's respective characters. (edit: and maleshep, too, if this ever happens)
Yeah, I think Ash's romance (by itself) is still my favorite, but after playing through Kaidan's, Ash has some
serious competition. Add to that the fact that femShep
is Shepard to me now, like you said, and Kaidan is now the "canon" romance for my Shepard by default.
And the "Arrgh" you mentioned was more a joke on my part, plus maybe a bit of sadness that Rani is over with. I really liked her, but she's just not right anymore. Ah well. Kat looks like she'll make up for Rani in spades. I've spent a coupla hours on her in the CC, and I think I'm close, if not there. I'll take some pics soon and see what y'all think. Plus, her background and psych profiles are different than my maleShep, so while I have Kat's playthrough planned out for the most part, there's still some wiggle room for her to surprise me and keep things fresh.

wow, that's alot of replies to reply to. Thanks everyone for commenting. I swear, this has to be the friendliest thread on these boards, and a great group of people to associate yourself with. Thanks again!
